Report: Ed Reed will return this week

For the second straight year, the Raiders could knock a team out of a playoff spot in Week Seventeen.  (Although we doubt John Harbaugh will subsequently be fired and join the Monday Night Football crew.)

Oakland's upset bid became a little more daunting Tuesday with the news that Ravens safety Ed Reed is expected to return to the lineup.

Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports Reed is planning to play, barring setbacks to his hip injury.  Reed has missed the last four weeks.

Reed will try to pick off passes from Charlie Frye, who should benefit from Tom Cable's exceptional coaching of quarterbacks.
